Sudden Menstrual Bleeding

. THE TENDERNESS OF THINGS

Toyo Sesshu: Two crows

The white is drawing.
The heron is white heron
dotted;

is an awful suggestion that in his beautifully organized around
silence and loss.

not draw the brush.
That only helps to see the bottom intact:
the pain of not stained silk
where is the heron

César Martín Ortiz: Toyo Sesshu in
Touches Transit


"I do not think Japanese girl thought for a moment that the development of the bow could be the cause of healing. Not in the sense that we give to the word cause. The cranes were another way of playing the same cards, an attempt to find the secret laws of the universe possible reverse (...) Make paper cranes to not die, get disciplined forms of the report, a number so large that no could fit another thing in thought or other activity in daily life, could be one of the lost laws, a law with which the scholars who tried to cure it, brothers who tried to kill her, could never give.

cranes do not think, as such, are strictly necessary. Suffice to put together a phenomenon - the disease that eats Elvira - another phenomenon of the obsessive part of the acute and painful, you have an obvious symmetry, it is resolved in a closed order in itself. I can not ask Elvira that you make cranes, and I do not know how to do, but I can put these memories in, say, ten thousand words, and added to the repertoire of existing things, and hope that this phenomenon newborn , with which the world had so far, know the touch of a spring in the neglected area where you actually decide things "
(César Martín Ortiz: A reflection in the window or ten thousand paper cranes) tells me

Juan Manuel Caesar is dead we . I can not ask that you to do a hundred thousand cranes to escape a hundred thousand scholars of the stupidity and tontuna. Quite impossible because I do not know how to make paper cranes. But, like Caesar, I believe in reflexes windows and bright colors that flow in the vessels, I think the conversation that raises tenderness things. I do not know how faithful the church supports reflexes. Perhaps in the privacy we all speak the secret language of magic glitter captured. But really not many people with whom I have met them with panting breath, like Chutes and that beauty is born into the world and capable presentiment of " press ignored a spring in the area where you really decide things."

Caesar is dead on day 18. The truth is that sixteen years ago that Caesar out of my life. Our friendship - what is such a thing, brother? What defines only thing that unites us beyond the terror and panic? How do I designate without harming the delicate crane saving with astounding cruelty breaks or, worse, makes us believe that was a dream? -, Our friendship, I say, it was without much pomp circumstance Jaraíz. Circle and shared readings, outlined complicity and perhaps now paradise that damn nostalgia. I think that Caesar would be with me that the nostalgia and sadness, combined blind tenderness. And that conviction unites us camaredería black marketeers.

Sixteen years without knowing of Caesar. Now Juan Manuel tells me that "we are dead" and that "I think you would have liked, if I may say, to know." Juan Manuel believe that redeems my sixteen years of silence (and it does thanks to the light that is present in the other not by my merits). Cesar played an important role in my relationship with writing. As some others - few: fit in one hand - co-reflections, also, I have lost in the past. It's my destiny to destroy-me on the abandonment (not forgetting) the road that leads me to the tenderness of things. Be the fault of the father and mother once freudianos.Tal evil abounds over what we intended, Cesar, to believe.

Sixteen years ago I burned all the books and writings that had been stored since he was fourteen. The first day poems and adolescents. My awkwardness of youth. When I mentioned to Caesar, with the phlegm always halfway between the cosmopolitan gentleman and the gentleman from the provinces, he said "sure there was anything interesting." Nothing more. Respected my decision in the distance and showed - he turned sign of a message, in reflection of a window - the uselessness of the gesture in writing, the revelation that writing is only gesture.

not easy to find fine-tuning between souls who seek the futility of the tenderness of things. With sixteen years of distance, now at the time of his death, I suppose it is necessary to return the break up, show

"another phenomenon of the obsessive part of the acute and painful, that has an obvious symmetry, which is resolved in a closed order itself. "

Death and Friendship in writing
tenderness and reflection.
Smiles and blushes that we lose any nonsense, some distances and fear of misunderstanding. I

with the dedication I wrote Caesar to Touches Transit, are these words mirror image of the secret geometry:

"To Luis / For Caesar, these misguided attempts to approach the tenderness of things"

Invitation Wording For Third Birthday

Dream 2.0. Maze, guns and telephones



first dream
Year 2011


I mono and I'm accompanied by a monkey. We are united by some kind of emotional bond that can not be named as eroticism, passion or friendship. It's a strange feeling that binds us so hard and uncertain. Fear has been guiding us through this labyrinth of rooms that we cover and describe a journey in which I am like a teacher who reveals secrets to his disciple just know, without meditation or sober distance, the ideas spouted the party breath from the exertion. This precariousness of my expertise, our relationship is more egalitarian and compassionate than hierarchical. We could say we're two monkeys existentialist fleeing terrible danger, and in this situation, I have had to go ahead, show me ignorance and clumsiness in the form of wisdom. I'm a monkey in charge of their duties. Do not ask me how to be responsible in the world of dream world that only with great effort supports an interpretation. But the fact is that I live in the dream-laden monkey responsibility for the monkey.

Being a teacher and existentialist mono means that I perceive myself more as a place of ignorance stammer than an expert source. Tao a cracked vessel, with flakes that are the syllables of a crossword Dada. Mono unusual to feel lost even in a dream and having to simulate safety and teaching because the other needs you. I'm not yet spiritually prepared for such an ethical metamorphosis. A monkey faced with an epic esthete ethics without having read Kierkegaard.



I said I was a monkey but it would be more accurate to say that in my dream I see myself as a man trapped in the body and the soul of a monkey. I perceive myself as one of the commanders gorilla film Planet of the Apes but without the intelligence or language ability. O has not yet sprouted, or perhaps has been lost in the shadows. Hairy as Gregor Samsa in place did wake insect mono and had gradually been losing humanizing traits. Guerrilla a girl that god punished by a curator or dealer-male, was unable to drop the mask, being condemned to be featured circus freak. In humans we only have eyes and a tremulous piety reflected in them scared. And fear.




These are, therefore, two monkeys running away from ourselves or others, of our monstrous bestiality or living in the heart of some god or cruel man. She and I we move into a closed maze formed by connecting rooms with small windows and other passages as a cattery or skylights. Leave a room to reach another climbing walls faded much like someone painted or papered many years. All construction debris and threat means collapse. We went from one compartment to another lest the ground sinks or we catch the crash that follows our movements. And we do it obsessively - as things happen in dreams - and to exhaustion. Monkeys are not skilled and navigate the maze of rooms we are tired and accentuates our fears.

stop because my companion We can not go a step further. I take the break to show two objects that I put in my lap: a revolver and a cordless phone. I think I can not speak in human consciousness and my explanations run over run by a middle way between telepathy and gestures (Strange line, closer to the illusion than anything else, that occurs when two eyes afraid to cross!). I tell my co-disciple who never know whether to pull the trigger the gun fires a bullet. Sometimes Gatillazo only hear the firing pin in a vacuum. In other cases, the gunpowder explodes and we, as monkeys are, afraid to shout to the ground by pulling the gun display by our simian nature. I make several attempts and, indeed, the fourth or fifth shot hit the gun trigger and my partner and I scream like monkeys. It is a humbling experience having to do this ritual because, in our human background, vaguely understand that there is nothing to be afraid.

Something similar happens with the phone. Sometimes, pressing one of the keys, appears the voice of someone articulating words. However, we do not understand your message - if it is offered - and we have no possibility to understand if the speaker gives tips dictatorial or democratic orders for our good. We do not understand their language but felt, with tears in their eyes, that language was ours in the past or could become so in the future. This nostalgia and fear of being discovered us to remain silent when the voice comes from the handset, which, as I said, does not always happen.

My partner is very tired. Something tells me it has been surrendered and that will not leave this room. I look at the gun and the phone. I think in a maze like this gun should be used to kill Minotaurs or break open doors. However, never have the assurance that the next shot will be in a vacuum or a bullet will explode. Do not even know if there are more bullets. The phone, on the other hand, should allow us to ask for help. But the shame I speak, could not bear the humiliation of having my partner thought the other side of the phone is a monkey.

Sweat makes us ugly. I know I should leave my partner. I dare not kiss him. No I would remind you that the went past human or, hopefully, we could be in the future. It is more humane to shoot in the head. Even cry or molesting his weakness before escaping to other rooms. To relax and ejaculate a little afraid before going, alone, walking.

And these I wake up with a strange sensation in the mouth.
